My Armageddon predictions

With World Wrestling Entertainment's [WWE] Armageddon pay-per-view less than 15-minutes away, I figured I might as well go ahead and give my predictions for tonights card.


CM PUNK vs. REY MYSTERIO

This match will most likely be the opening match as not only will it get the crowd going but also features two of the company's most popular superstars. Keep in mind that this is match is not to crown a new Intercontinental Champion but rather, to see who will face the current Intercontinental Champion William Regal at a later date. Since Regal defeated Punk in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament this summer, I see Punk getting the win tonight and beginning a long feud with Regal.


MATT HARDY vs. VLADMIR KOSLOV

This match came about as a result of Koslov not being able to defeat Matt Hardy a several weeks back on Smackdown during the "Beat the Clock Challenge," where the winner would face WWE Champion Edge tonight. Koslov was unsuccessful due to Matt Hardy playing cat-and-mouse during the match and out-thinking Koslov. I see Koslov getting the win since its a non-title match but Hardy will put up a good showing.


FINLAY vs. MARK HENRY

This should be the blow-off match to the feud between these two, which will be under "Belfast Brawl" rules, which means anything goes. I see one of two things happening tonight...One, Finlay again tries to protect his "son" Hornswoggle and ends up losing the match, causing him to turn on Hornswoggle or two, Henry's mouthpiece, Tony Atlas, will cost him the match and began to separate himself from Henry, which had its seeds planted this past week on ECW on Scifi. In the end, I go with Finlay.


BATISTA vs. RANDY ORTON

The match that has been four-years in the making and the first one-on-one match between the two former Evolution members since April 2005, I see either Batista winning the match since Orton got the pin on him at Survivor Series and on Raw this past week or Orton's cronies, Cody Rhodes and Manu, will interfere and get Orton disqualified.


EDGE vs. HHH vs. JEFF HARDY

This is my pick for match of the night as all three men have a history with each other. Triple H and Jeff Hardy are in this match since both of them had the same time in their "Beat the Clock" challenge matches. I would love for Jeff to win but I don't see it happening because I would like to hope if the company decides to put the belt on Jeff, it will be at a big show, like either the Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania. I see Edge walking out still champion since he just won it at Survivor Series and we will find out who attacked Jeff Hardy, which I have an inkling its his own brother Matt, setting up Edge vs. Triple H and Jeff vs. Matt.


8-DIVA TAG MATCH

I don't see much happening in this match, which will feature the team of Maria/Kelly Kelly/Mickie James/Michelle McCool taking on Maryse/Jillian Hall/Victoria/Natalya other than Divas Champion McCool finally turning heel and beginning a feud with fellow Diva Maria before Gail Kim debuts on Smackdown. My prediction is Team Maryse.


JOHN CENA vs. CHRIS JERICHO

Even though Chris Jericho won "Superstar of the Year" this past Monday night on Raw, don't be fooled into thinking Jericho is taking the title from Cena, who just won it several weeks ago at Survivor Series. Cena is the guy WWE wants to be carrying the company and and will begin building towards a proper Cena/Batista feud.
